The Steam Deck is more polished in many ways, and just works better for games in general.

For example, tvOS adds deadzones and input lag on the analog sticks on Xbox and DualSense controllers.

If you need any accurate movement (like aiming in first person shooter games or steering in driving games), tvOS makes it almost unplayable over Steam Link or Moonlight: https://www.reddit.com/r/GeForceNOW/comments/1umzjp2/tvos_apple_tv_itself_seems_to_add_additional/

Just use the Apps Moonlight and Sunshine. Its less lag and a better Bit rate.

I use a switchbot. Works with alexa too. I just ask alexa to turn on my pc.

I have a switchbot hub2, can it send wol packets? or do I need a switchbot button or something like that?

I use the button., besides the battery dieing on it and network, works 100% of the time.
